Episode notes
Offensive Line Failure Crippled Offense
- The offensive line was the biggest disappointment and crippled the attack with 2.1 yards per carry and four sacks allowed.
- Without a functioning run game the offense became one-dimensional and predictable versus Green Bay.
Reconsider Starter Reps In Preseason
- Consider rethinking preseason reps for starters to build live-game cohesion, especially on a rebuilt offensive line.
- If you choose preseason work, commit to substantial reps (multiple halves) to make a noticeable difference.
Possession Without Production
- The offense dominated time of possession but failed to establish rhythm and explosive plays.
- Living in checkdowns requires near-perfect execution and the Lions failed to convert long drives into points.
